This is the first time I've followed GB at an international tournament and having watched both the GB game and the Poland game I'm not optimistic about the rest of the tournament! I don't think GB were shocking but they seemed to lack a cutting edge and a togetherness which the Poles showed in spades. I don't want to write off GB yet as I know nothing about the competitiveness of Romania, Holland or Lithuania but I can't see us matching Poland they just looked like a more accomplished outfit.

I still think everyone will finish where everyone is supposed to finish but yes, I got to admit this the most competitive D1B ever.

However, I must say that is so because GB are supposed to be a good team and they aren't.

It's been 1 game lol you gotta relax.

So let me hear predictions for tomorrow games:
GB : Romania
Netherlands : Croatia
Poland : Lithuania

Mine is
GB : Romania 5:0
Netherlands : Croatia 2:4
Poland : Lithuania 2:2 1:0 (overtime)

I guess this started today. Poland, Croatia and England would be my favourites to win here.

"England"

 

[crobro]

Croatia
Poland
Lithuania
Dutch
GB
Romania

Romania is the most likely headed for relegation unless the Brits have something to say about that .they looked horrible against croatia like beer leaguers at Riley park.croatia , Poland,Lithuania are all gonna be fighting for the gold , pay close attention to thd head to head matchups amongst these three teams.

"England"

pfft there's no difference between Great Britain and England

 

[Shrimper]

Better from GB today.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Better from GB today.

To me, it looks exactly the same. Only goaltending is better and opponent is weaker.

Can't argue with that, if we can't beat Romania then we don't belong in Div 1.

 

[3 Minute Minor]

I thought it was very similar to yesterday although I didn't think yesterday was the end of the world lol

GB dominated possession and heavily out shot the opposition again... The biggest difference was Bowns. He didn't let in the early stinkers and allowed GB to stay in the game rather than chasing it from the start.

 

[bobbeaver]

Lvl of defence was vastly different between cro and romania. Romania had its chances, to many if u ask me. English D seams problematic.

 

[Urbanskog]

Stream for Netherlands - Croatia?

[Medo]

strong d from croatia

 

[SoundAndFury]

Oosterwijk is starting today which means Meierdres' injury is pretty serious. Bad news for the Netherlands, especially considering that Oosterwijk has been horrible thus far.

The D is all English

All the Welsh and Scottish players on the team are forwards and Murphy the goalie

It's just getting extremely irritating that ignorant people think Great Britain = England, it's like calling Canada Ontario
